Kindle not working on Ipad2

A little while ago I got an update for the Kindle reader and also for the Google reader on my Ipad2. Apparently these updated removed my ability to buy ebooks for these readers. I contacted Kindle and was told that I could purchase ebooks through the Amazon websight but when I tried I got the message ''Ipad no longer supports this function''. What's going on here? Can I restore the use of my non-Ipad readers? How?

It was when I tried to make a purchase and I believe that it came from the Ipad not kindle. Actually, I'm not sure. It did the same thing this week when I tried to buy an ebook through the Kindle Cloud Reader.

Sounds like you tried to download the book in Safari while on the site. Don't bother. Instead open the Kindle app, go to the archive page, find the newly purchased book and tap it to download diectly in the app.

Agree w/ TP - the Kindle app (along w/ other similar e-book purchasing apps) no longer has a choice to purchase a book from the app itself - an Apple decision, I believe -

So, regardless of where you want to purchase the book, you will need to go the the website, such as Amazon, and buy the book there and then get it onto your iPad.

I just bought a Kindle book today - went to Amazon and found and then ordered the book - there was an option for me to download to my Kindle app on the iPad (from previous setup) - after the purchase, I simply opened the Kindle app on the iPad and the book was immediately downloaded.

It never did have real in-app purchases, you know. All it did was give you a link that took you to the Amazon Kindle Store in a browser. Now you have to get there on your own.

To make things almost as convenient, visit Amazon in Safari and navigate to the Kindle Store. Tap on the icon to the left of the URL field and choose Add To Home Screen. You can put the resulting icon right next to the Kindle app.

Yesterday, on my way home on the train I did download a free ebook form Kindle just to try it again and it did work. Right now I'm reading an ebook form the library so once I finish that one I'll try to purchase another ebook and see how it goes.

I like the Overdrive reader the best out of the four that I have, Apple, Kindle, Google, Overdrive, on the Ipad, so I just might stick with my library. It's free!

my kindle books are not opening up on my ipad

why does my ipad no longer allow me to down load kindle books?
